The Municipality of George will be conducting planned sewerage upgrades at the intersection of Cradock and Market Street, to convert the Old York High Hostel to Municipal Offices. The work will commence on Friday 22 November 2024 – if everything goes according to the plan – for three weeks.
The aerial photo of the Hub area indicates the location of the construction site as well as the temporary stops in Market and Hibernia Streets. The street will be closed only between the Market/Cradock intersection and the Hub.
Buses normally approaching the Hub from the northern side will mostly continue their normal routes. Buses approaching from Market Street and the southern part of Cradock Street will be rerouted and will stop at other temporary positions.
Routes 7, 9, 13, 24 and 1C have only slight deviations via Mitchell Street instead of Cradock Street, but still stop at their regular stops in the CBD.
